Below the Post Budget Reaction on Education Sector by Ashish Munjal, Co-Founder and CEO, Sunstone

“We congratulate Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for presenting a forward-looking Union Budget 2025-26 that prioritizes skill development, employability, and education. The establishment of National Centres of Excellence for skilling is a transformative step, perfectly aligning with Sunstone’s mission to equip young professionals with industry-relevant expertise.

The government’s ‘Make for India, Make for the World’ vision reinforces the need for hands-on learning and future-ready training, which we actively promote. The increased focus on AI-driven education and medical training further highlights the commitment to preparing India’s workforce for emerging global opportunities.

A notable highlight is the emphasis on internships and apprenticeship-linked learning, which are critical to bridging the gap between academia and industry. At Sunstone, we believe real-world exposure plays a pivotal role in driving high employability, and we remain committed to empowering students with practical skills, robust internships, and direct industry engagement. This budget is a significant step toward making India a global hub for skilled talent.”
